If by "easiest" you mean "easiest way to break your native package management". Everyone: Please, please, please stop telling the Redhat (and RPM) newbies to build everything from source only. If you want to break your package management, build from source (./configure; make; make install) New RPM users, please learn how to build your own RPM's instead. Your system will thank you for it. http://freshrpms.net/docs/fight.html http://www.redhat.com/docs/books/max-rpm/max-rpm-html/ Go here ... http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=php&submit=Search+... ... and first try rebuilding the php from Rawhide: rpmbuild --rebuild ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/rawhide/1.0/SRPMS/SRPMS/php-4.2.2-13.src.rpm > An alternative would be to take an SRPM from another distribution > (www.rpmfind.net lists a few) and do an rpm --recompile, but that may > introduce subtle problems of its own.
